[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] surr3a1:
Hello,

I've been searching on google for more than a week now and have tried every single guide I've found. They do not work!

Everything is for this CM7 ROM which has nothing to do with CheckRom.

I've decompiled dozens of SystemUI apks and anything that anyone can imagine.

I still can't get a transparent status bar.

Before I start getting the wrong answers I have to tell you that it has nothing to do with ANY png file inside the SystemUI.apk, simply because the status_bar.xml looks like this:

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" android:background="#ff000000"

They do not use the images but instead hard code it to a solid black color.

Yes, I've tried to change this. It does make a difference and I was able to get a white status bar for example.

I've tried with transparent code like this: @android:color/transparent

It was the closest I got to transparency since I started getting the ghosting effect on the status bar, but still at the very bottom there was a black background, which does not come from the status_bar.xml file.

I have run out of ideas and this is why I am asking the masterminds here.

Please, help me get a transparent status bar, please!

Current setup:

SGS2

CheckRom v4.0

Go Launcher EX (I've tried with other launchers, I am pretty sure it is not the launcher)

ICS Domination 1.7.2 theme (the theme does not matter since the status_bar.xml file is the same in the original SystemUI.apk that comes with the ROM by default)

Many thanks!

P.S.

I was able to get to this "themed" status bar, but still not transparency :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] SPACE ALIEN:
Ooooh man....... bad luck, but every roms are not made for transparency you know ! I make a lot of transmod on my thread. Send me your SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk, and i'll try to do it for you, but i can't promise anythin' !!!

@grgsiocl: I've tried the kitchen, after installing there is absolutely no difference :(.

Thanks for your reply!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Beefheart:
Space Alien, if you have any luck doing this I would appreciate being sent the result too if possible. A MIUI-like transparent status bar is something I would love to get my hands on for CheckRom.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pSyCh¤_O_O:
+ 1000000000 (for checkrom plz) ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] SPACE ALIEN:
Try it tonight !

Ask me on my thread plizzz
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] PFittech:
SystemUI.apk\res\layout\status_bar.xml

line 2 android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background"

lien 20 android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background"

then only make transparent png and replace original in SystemUI vuala
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] surr3a1:
Hi, yes. I did try this. I doesn't work. I am just getting the ghosting effect over a black background. There is a black background which is not coming from line 2 nor from line 20 :(. This is actually the problem. Another problem is that there is no statusbar_background image in SystemUI.apk at all! If I try to add a new one the apk would not compile anymore.

Anyhow, a small variation of this method got me to my custom background statusbar from the screenshot(I changed one of the LTE images which I will never use, to be my custom statusbar and used the code above to apply it) . But it is still not a transparent one :(.

Thanks for your reply, we will get there with the combined efforts.

Cheers!

P.S.

Is it possible that some 3rd party app is interfering with this? Jkay Deluxe Settings for example?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] squall458:
I too have tried to get a transparent status bar for weeks now. It was so easy to do on the iphone. I am not sure why its such a pain for android OS.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] surr3a1:
Actually it is not that difficult on the Android as well, CheckRom simply does not allow it!

In any near future when I feel like a factory reset, I'll remove it from my phone.

Cheers to all!

Can the new flashtools root 4.0.2.A.0.62 for arcs with locked bootloaders? Already upgraded once to find out i couldn't root it. Has anyone done this successfully with a locked bootloader as I don;t fancy experimenting again.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realfelix:
yes mate flash the old kernel from the .58 or .42 or .283 FW by excluding baseband & system in flashtool b4 flashing :) after that root as normal with zergRush..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somedude67:
Thats what i did last time i experimented and it didnt work. i installed 62 then flashed the 42 kernel with flashtool. But zerg wouldnt root it. But i flashed the kernel only. in one of the 62 threads there were links to getting it rooted with locked bootloaders. This went to a guide with nothing about locked bootloaders in it, only unlocked.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realfelix:
somewhere here in the forums is a thread about CWM for locked bootloaders, with that you CANNOT flash custom kernels, but old kernels in zip format, hang on i'll get you the zip :) + the link for the locked BL CWM.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realfelix:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1390771 this is the link for CWM: follow these instructions for the arc : 1.Run install-cwm?.cmd

install-cwm1.cmd for Xperia Arc / Neo / PLAY

2.Enable USB Debugging on device

3.Connect your device using usb data cable

4.Follow on screen instruction

and here's the kernel :) it's the .283 kernel ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somedude67:
it wasn't custom, it was the stock kernel from .42 flashed to .62 and zerg refused to root it. Although apparently this worked on previous versions as i tried flashing the .42 kernel over onto .62 as a tip from one of the other members on here. but I couldn't get it rooted in the end and gave up and went back to .58.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realfelix:
flash that kernel via CWM
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somedude67:
so if done with cwm mod it should work then? Whats the difference flashing the kernel with cwm as opposed to flashtool? Would have thought it be the same.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realfelix:
dont know the difference, but this one worked for me :P
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somedude67:

I have the exact same problem as you. Did you manage to accomplish anything? If yes would it be easy for you to explain to me the exact steps? If not is it possible to give me the address or send me the .58 firmware for arcs (the ftf file). I wasn't able to find it somewhere. Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somedude67:
upgraded to .62 then tried to install cwm but it wouldn't let me as the phone needs root permission to be able to install it. So how did you deal with this? I also flashed the .283 kernel with flash tools after updating to .62 and zerg again failed to root the device.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chandoliasnikos:
Ok, I'll give it a try.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chandoliasnikos:
Before I go back to .58, is there any rumour if Flashtool is going to support rooting on .62 firmware soon?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adridu59:
Nope... the zergRush exploit has been patched on .62 fw and there wont be another exploit on Gingerbread, since we're going to ICS.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somedude67:
is there anyway to root 62 without unlocking our bootloaders or is it nay to impossible?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chandoliasnikos:
So far I wasn't able to find a way, so I think I'll just go back to .58 or .42 and root, waiting for the official ICS.

I agree with the majority of the above - Titanium (pro) for apps and Google for contacts.

Since the poster above mentioned SMS, I'll take this opportunity to push the BRILLIANT SMS Backup+. It creates a backup of all your SMS (stored and automatically when new ones come in) and saves them in a folder (label) in your gmail account. You can also restore them whenever you need, which is perfect for flashaholics.

Hey there,

Has anyone managed to patch there CM 7.1 Legend with ACheps ICS layout mod found here? I've tried multiply times resulting in my status bar simply not showing and coming up with an error. If anyone has succeeded can they post there patch files here for me to use? :) Thanks
[Legend Themes and Apps] nAFutro:
I've also tried it with CM7.1 but without success. Lock-ring and transitions effects did work, but the statusbar crashes right after unlocking the phone.
[Legend Themes and Apps] fabi280:
I've got it working a while ago.

Quite easy if you're reading the Instructions.

1) Deodex your ROM (Important, otherwise there will be crashes like hell)

2) Run the AChep Patcher

3) Put the Files back to your phone and flash them

4) Maybe you have to revert to stock and then flash again to make it work properly.

The first step is the hardest step, but it's easy if you read...
[Legend Themes and Apps] mafosh:
yop, i get this thing working without problem, running KANG 7.1 CM, just recieved one warning about resolution when applying, commited, screen made some resolution changes and the went back to normal with the status bar and the rest correctly...

[Legend Themes and Apps] DjMonkeyUK:
Aha I didn't realise you need to deodex your rom! I read the instructions many a time and didn't see it state that, ah well. I think I prefer an odes rom over this modification. But I would be interested in a custom build cm7 with this already on.

[TouchPad Accessories] Oceangrace24:
So here is a weird one for you that I can't quite figure out.

I bought 2 touchpads and 2 touchstones during the fire sale.

I put one up for my daughter for Christmas and the other is mine.

I have been using mine with the touchstone since I got it without any problems.

I finally unboxed the TS charger for my daughter last night. I plugged it in and put her TP on it and it wouldn't charge. Nothing.

I did some testing and swapping since I have 2 of each. Both TP's work on my original TS. I tried both TS's with both of the AC adapters and still, only my original would work. The original worked with both AC adapters.

Here is where it gets weird. The new one will not charge either TP when it is running WebOS.

On my original TP, I have put Android on it and I am running the Xron Rom.

When my TP is booted into Android, the Touchstone charger works. It charges my TP.

Anyone had any similar experiences? I have already called HP and I am planning on sending it back more than likely.
[TouchPad Accessories] Nathanation:
does sound strange, so the dodgy one only chargers your xronified touchpad?

Mine sometimes doesn't want to charge, its mega specific about the angle and position its at.
[TouchPad Accessories] Oceangrace24:
Yes, it is very strange.

The faulty one will only charge my Original touchpad, and only when it is booted into Xron Android.

You boot it back to WebOS, and no charge.. move it over to my original Touchstone while still in WebOS, charges fine.

My daughter's TP doesn't have android on it, so I don't know if that works or not.

I have the HP case on both of the TPs. I have tried it every way, with them on and off.
[TouchPad Accessories] ponyboy82:
Very strange. It seems on WebOS 3.0.4 (the latest version) the touchstone charging sensitivity was decreased. On mine, I can't charge while using the OEM HP folio case with the flap folded back like I used to. Some people say they can, so it seems to vary. If possible, I would say just try to return the bad Touchstone, but if you really want to you could try reverting to WebOS 3.0.2, but idk. It sounds like something's not right with it.
[TouchPad Accessories] spunker88:
I thought the touchstone wasnt dependent on software. Isn't it just an inductive charger. Three only thing software controls is displaying the battery level I thought.
[TouchPad Accessories] Oceangrace24:
I thought I read somewhere that if you had multiple touchstones, and you set them up with different settings while the TP is on them, it would remember the settings from TS to TS.
[TouchPad Accessories] ponyboy82:
It partially is...at least the receiver. I'm not sure if it's baked into the kernel or if the update has some driver in it, or what exactly, but it looks like 3.0.5 updated the sensitivity back to pre-3.0.4 settings so far.
[TouchPad Accessories] thrak410:
What? How do you change 'settings' on the touchstone?? :confused:
[TouchPad Accessories] Yasin00:
Yes, I would like to know if there are any settings for the touchstone as well. Mine never worked, sent the first one back and they sent me a new one which doesn't work either so I figure it must be my tablet
[TouchPad Accessories] Troute:
I think he means set up the TP while it's on the TouchStone and it will remember the setting next time it sits on that particular one. No idea myself if it works, I've only got the one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NTOP:
Hello everyone,

I recently got an upgrade though T-Mobile (in UK) for a Samsung Galaxy S2. Its simply awesome, but I'm a newbie to the Android OS. Hence I have very less knowledge as to what is happening with the android OS rooting, updating etc.

So on to the main topic, I got my phone (model GT-I9100) on 2.3.5 and the base band is I9100BOKJ1.

I would like to remove the T-Mobile branding and the other software which there installed have it.

So could someone please guide me though how I could root and update my firmware to Standard samsung with out the carriers crap installed and still use the phone with my carrier?

My phone is unlocked by default as another sim card works from another carrier.

Could someone walk me through step by step as to how i could root and update my firmware to standard and unlock the device Any help is much appreciated.

I have attached a screen shots of my x#1234#

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Leesam:
I've posted in other threads about lag i've been experiencing (here, here and here).

As soon as i enable HDMI out the bluetooth keyboard and mouse start lagging and stuttering very badly. This happens with mirror mode (NON-Mod) or Webtop via Nebtop (Root App) or Fenny's mod(replacement APKs). I've run the fastboot on my phone to bring it back to non root stock and i've updated to the 748 VZW OTA update but i still get this issue even just using mirror mode.

Could someone else test this with their RAZR? I'd like to know if it's something defective with my device or with all RAZRs.

The reproduction steps are simple:

1. Pair a bluetooth HID Mouse or Keyboard

2. Connect the input device

3. Connect HDMI

4. Choose output mode (Webtop via hack or Mirror mode with no hacks required)

5. Try to type a text or move the mouse pointer around

I've tried this with different Monitors and televisions and also with different bluetooth mice and keyboards. I haven't found a combination which works smoothly yet. I also posted this issue in the Motorola owners forum. Not too much response there quite yet.

Thanks for the help if anyone can provide it!

Got my dock station today and will be getting a Bluetooth keyboard in a couple days. I will report back as well.

UPDATE _ Been using the dock station with a Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard and a really cheap USB wireless mouse. The keyboard has no lag at all but the mouse lags a bit depending on what app is running or which dock mode I'm using. I've found that certain games and apps run with less lag in Web top mode and some work better on HDMI mirror mode. I messed with the mouse settings in Web top mode to make it more responsive but it still takes some getting used to. I don't think it's unuseable, but I can see noticeable lag that you have to compensate for.

Tested with stock UK razr rooted. Nebtop app and apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse. Although mouse behaves weird unless you set up the click rate and sensitivity.

same applies to mirror mode.

I guess its your keyboard/mouse that is causing trouble. Try different set of gear or change batteries.

Hope it helps
